Feeling the Pressure

Well, I went to the doctor yesterday and mentioned that I have been having some back pain. She ended up doing an ultrasound and believes I have a kidney stone!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME? It seems like it is one thing after another with this pregnancy. Don't get me wrong, I know that things could be MUCH MUCH worse, but like one of my friends said, "you don't do pregnant very easy". It is true--seems like things always pop up during my pregnancies.

Anyway, to make a long story short, I am going to see a urologist tomorrow to see what, if anything, we should do. So I would appreciate your prays about that. My OB said depending on what the urologist says and finds, they may have to induce me early so they can address the kidney stone. For those of you who know me, I am NOT into being induced, and fought it all the way on my first pregnancy. (I wasn't induced with Tayva, although my doctor wanted to) So, anyway, God has thrown me another curve ball. Good thing is, I know that He is sovereign, and has everything under control.

So, now I feel like I could only have 3 weeks left of this pregnancy , and I have LOTS to get ready! I ordered the double stroller tonight, and am trying to get some "last minute" things done in case this baby comes early. I guess I have more than "last minute" things to do--I have hardly done anything to get ready--guess that's how it is with your second. I have to pull out the changing table, get the newborn clothes out, pack my hospital bag etc. Oh, yeah, I suppose we should come up with a name too!!! :)

Aye, yey, yey

Shaunna,
I'm sorry for the frustration you are feeling! Hang in there. On a lighter note-I was wondering if you had chosen a name or if you are going to create one again!

Shaunna,
I developed kidney stones when I was pregnant with Luke - I had never had them before. I, too, had to be under the care of a urologist and spent some time in the hospital trying to pass them. Stay strong!
